on the day that daniel cowman stopped existing the world should have ended right then and there at precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing the world should have ended how could it go on? how could it go on? how could it go on?

oh and i don’t exist i don’t exist [repeats]

so now that we’ve got that straight doesn’t mean that i can fly doesn’t mean i that i can go do whatever i want. now that we’ve got that clear and you know that i’m not here doesn’t mean that i can go do whatever i please.

the premature -j-c-l-t–n of his death sentence hit daniel in the face like a big round spitball hwk-pfffff. and everything got hazy in the courtroom and then he stood up and then he sat back down another two times in the row. and everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies and he remembered heroin boy walking in through the door bouncing off the walls and the floor taking off his belt taking off his pants filling up the bathtub getting ready to go in for a swim. singing i don’t exist i don’t exist [repeats]

and now that we’ve got that straight, doesn’t mean that i can fly doesn’t mean that i can go do whatever i want. now that we’ve got that clear and you know that i’m not here doesn’t mean that i can go do whatever i please. and you start remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering…

the heroin boy, he walked through the door, and he was screaming and i was like ‘why’s you screaming like it’s the end of the world?’ and he was like ‘well it is.’ and i was sitting in the corner with my pants down and i was sure that someone next door was blowing up balloons and it was red and orange.

and there was that swell lady at the bar just trying to buy gin and there was this other lady at the bar and she was trying to sell gin it worked out good for the both of them.

and heroin boy started taking off his belt, started taking off his pants, started taking off his shoes started filling up the bathtub getting ready to go in for a swim i says “no-o. you’re going to drown. he says ‘no, i can’t drown. simply because…

shhhhhhh.

a man destined to hang can never drown, a man destined to hang can never drown, a man destined to hang can never ever drown.

a man destined to drown can never burn, a man destined to drown can never burn, a man destined to drown can never ever burn.

a man destined to fry can never ever ever a man destined to fry can never ever ever a man destined to fry can never ever ever die… in any other way but frying, lucky that i’m dying by hanging and not drowning.

so now that we’ve got that straight can’t i just be left alone? i want to take a f-ckin’ bath
